[2025 Nazlet El-Semman Attraction] Travel Guide for Pyramid of Khafre (Updated Jan)

The Pyramid of Khafre is the second-largest pyramid in the Giza Plateau, located to the southwest of the older Pyramid of Khufu. It was built by the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Khafre, the son of Khufu around 2570 BC. The pyramid has a base length of 215.5 m and rises up to a height of 136.4 m. It is made of limestone blocks weighing more than 2 tons each. The slope of the pyramid rises at a 53° 13’ angle, steeper than its neighbor, the pyramid of Khufu, which has an angle of 51°50’24". The pyramid is unique for retaining a section of its original white outer casing stones at the very top. The pyramid was first explored in modern times by Giovanni Belzoni on March 2, 1818, when the original entrance was found on the north side. #christmastrip

🌎“Whoever drinks the water of the Nile will return to Egypt again no matter how far he leaves Egypt.” 🌅Mention Egypt first, one of the four major ancient civilizations in the world. You must be fascinated by the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the mummies. This mysterious veil has always covered this distant country. Half desert, half sea water, you should always go to the mysterious Egypt once in your life to see the pyramids⛲ Itinerary guide: 🏜️Giza pyramids (Giza pyramids): connected with the Sphinx (Sphinx), in the center of old Cairo. 🏜️There are three pyramids: Khufu, Khafra, and Menkaure. The largest one is Khufu. If you want to enter the pyramid, you need to buy an additional ticket. If you drive, you will also need to purchase a separate parking ticket. 🏜️The scenic area is very big, and it will definitely be tiring just to walk. We chartered a car, and the tour guide took us to various parking spots and then we were free to move around. Save time and effort. 🏜️It’s great to take pictures from the first angle, (the largest Pyramid of Khufu) Thoughtful Tips: 🍀Note 1: People who take photos for you in scenic spots, help you guide your posture, or act as models for you all want your money. Be sure to ignore them and let them lead the way. They will ask you for tips. 🍀Note 2: You can hear a lot of “one dollar” when you land, just pretend you can’t hear it, don’t listen or believe it, it all costs money 🍀Note 3: Before riding a camel in the Pyramid area, you must bargain for the price and ask clearly. It would be best if you can make a video to prevent the camel vendor from changing his words when paying. (Ride a camel, but you must negotiate before riding. Price, otherwise you will be cheated (I just took a photo with a camel and charged 10, and then asked me to ride on it, thinking it was the price, but it turned out that I was charged 20 more when I rode on it. Who would have thought, I still had to pay 20 when I finally got off) So, be sure to tell it in advance!) 🍀Note 4: It costs money to use the toilet in Egypt. Everyone must prepare this change, otherwise they will not give change. Just use Egyptian pounds. 🍀Note 5: Locals rarely go shopping in Khalili Market. If you go, just take photos and don’t buy anything. The prices inside are too high. 🍀Note 6: Hotels in Egypt do not provide slippers, toothpaste and toothbrushes. You must bring them. You must bring bath towels when going to the Red Sea. 🍀Note 7: You can exchange a certain amount of Egyptian pounds. Egypt is a tipping country. It is more cost-effective to tip in Egyptian pounds than in US dollars. It is also required in public toilets. 🍀Note 8: Friends who come to Egypt for the first time may not be used to Egyptian food. Try to bring some Chinese food to avoid going hungry. 🍀Note 9: It is recommended to know the Egyptian numbers in advance. They are not Arabic numerals. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to recognize the license plate and read the bill. 🚗Egypt traffic arrangement 🚌Bus: There are four bus companies to choose from: GO BUS, Super Jet, East Delta Trabel Co, and Upper Egypt Go, which take longer to cross the city. 🚂Train: Except for Cairo-Alexandria and Cairo-Aswan, these two lines have modern trains, and the other lines are not as good as long-distance buses. ✈️Airplane: EgyptAir is the main domestic flight operator, and they are relatively cheap, which can save a lot of time on the journey. 🚕Taxi: Cairo mainly uses metered taxis.

I only want to stay in a hotel in Cairo, Egypt|||Sitting in a wheelchair, I arrived in Cairo, my face covered in dust and sand. But I fell in love with the hotel - Marriott Mena House, staying for 3 nights. In an area of yellow earth, the Mena House is truly an oasis of cleanliness. Facing the Great Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza, you can enjoy the view of the pyramids while having breakfast. Besides, the Cairo Agreement was signed here, and Agatha Christie stayed in this hotel while she completed 'Death on the Nile'. I can understand why; I don't even want to leave.
